2024 CFMOTO 450 CL-C Review | The Best Beginner Cruiser?

[@zeendrom]

The Caco test is the best segment.

[@megamarvs18]

Caco test should become standard. 😂

[@eianmedrana6213]

Yup 100%! 🔥 Definitely will be using this as my basis from now on 💪🏼 😅

[@rafaelbojador823]

Indeed. I love (and need) those because I'm actially shorter than Sir Caco hahaha

[@marloncanas6221]

Anyone knows how tall Caco is? Or namention ba sa video that I just missed it? Honestly very curious since I am a short rider myself.

[@johncarlofigueroa3395]

I'm loving this bike everyday! got mine right after they launched it here in the Ph last December and all I could say is the bike is Phenomenal. I feel really good driving it 😊 I must say I made the right decision in getting this as my first big bike 😊

[@eightatheart_music]

How is it for long distance?

[@vanpascual2492]

Fuel consumption mo sir?

[@octaviodiokno4667]

for biginner and for daily ride think this bike is phenomenal

[@ravenfeather09]

I'm considering this as my first bike soon, can't wait

[@aygunhasan5662]

Same here mate! Was looking at the Honda Rebel 500 for a long time but now seeing this and it being nearly 6K cheaper(in my country) than the honda while being not so different from one another, gotta say the 450 CL-C has me on a chokehold at the moment.

[@erwininocencio3818]

rusi good for you

[@Arguant]

when you get it? I am pretty hyped for it too. May you share some experiences :>

[@CaptainJCRage]

18km/L for a 450cc bike? Everything seemed very good until I heard that fuel consumption.

[@nuclear9977]

lol true my bestie , BMW 1250 GS gives around that range and even better sometimes 😂

[@seanmack4552]

Nearly doesn’t seem right does it….

[@seanmack4552]

He had tank size wrong so probably threw his numbers out when working it out.

[@manosmanos4663]

I had rebel 500 2022 no more than 4/100 with too much effort

[@tombombadilofficial]

CF MOTO engines arent known for being fuel effecient. Faster Engine Carbon buildup is a known issue as well.

[@3xk890]

i gotta say, the tail looked proper when you sat on it...

[@kpraz]

yeah just how it is with mono shocks.. same sa honda steeds... they look too high kung walang nkaupo

[@sigob964]

or if ayaw makita yung gap. maglagay ng saddlebags.

[@dariomatic3182]

Hi i am 184cm tall is it small bike for me

[@austingeorge2022]

Politely calling him fat😊

[@toocoded]

@@dariomatic3182 I dont think so. I am 189cm and own a Honda Rebel 500. I have no issues whatsoever riding it - and I do long rides.

[@veljkovic92]

This bike with 800cc engine like in NK800 would be amazing. Hope they make it.

[@yamen16]

Best review of this bike so far. Thanks for the great content!

[@markusjentesart]

Caco test for the win! You guys are too funny. I ought to swing on by and say hello to you guys.

[@mymingyen]

And now to convince him to do it for every bike going forward without rubbing him the wrong way.

[@fadzlyts3472]

Nothing beats the V Twin engine performance and exhaust output sound. Proud QJMotor owner here 😎💪🏽

[@ShinzouWoSateSateSate]

Does QJmotor have a VTwin motorcycle or atleast a parallel twin with a 270° crank?

[@0311mitza]

this is going to be my very first bike. so happy cfmoto released it just in time

[@Fajela27]

Nice review. Not just about specs. Watched the whole thing from start to end. 🔥

[@kirikanjau5065]

that beat at the beginning 🔥

[@generaldistrust]

CFMOTO knocked it out of the park with the *450cc crossplane* ❤

[@gdvadventours5512]

Best looking Chinese bike design wise,it's better than any HD motorcycles I've seen.they also nailed the weight normally cruisers are super heavy.what keeps me from buying it is the unknown reliability...I wouldn't have that peace of mind driving it long distance or owning it long term.Styling wise I give it a 10

[@TopNotchPanch]

This was my sentiment as well regarding reliability but now that the 450ss has been out for a while I think the drivetrain has proven reliable enough for a budget cruiser. Looking to get one as a second motorcycle for longer distances next to my MC19

[@faizrasid713]

Great and very detailed review. thumbs up from Malaysia

[@fulgar-swastika]

This is really a good beginner bike. First of all meron syang gear tracking nakikita sa dashboard kong anong gear ka so hindi nakakalito just for me because im a lazy rider minsan nakakalimutan ko kong anong gear na ako😂 tapos yung yung lining ng handle bar sa sholder looks comfortable pati sitting position with semi forward pegs. Mala triumph nga talaga.

[@tiismuna]

Nagiging ok naman tignan yung back fender pag naka upo na.

[@EARTHROMR]

Best review i have seen, You have got yourself a sub from Australia

[@Joseph-gp5ld]

Realistically you don't need a monster motorcycle in the Philippines. This is a bike that you clearly own not because it's fast but because it gives you a great experience writing it. The 270° firing order really helps add to the retro experience. Recently I heard another CF 450 Moto model with a Yoshimura exhaust. My gosh did it ever transform the sound of that motorcycle into something like a Moto Guzzi or a V4 engine sound. The experience of cruising around on a retro bike in comfort without lovely sound would be good enough for me to enjoy.

[@loydchambers6129]

Being an American first thing I'd put on it is saddlebags if the rear fender was lower wouldn't be room for good side bags ,GOOD JOB TRIUMPH.

[@loydchambers6129]

Oops cf Moto lol

[@ajpee8841]

I hope the CL-X will have reiteration over this 450cc engine. Good competitor for the new Triump Speed 400 and Scrambler 400x.

[@GS-uy4xo]

Or a scrambler version would kill it!

[@dyakdaphogii-thewanderinga7695]

Simple solution for the high rear fender adjust the rear shock make it more softer to lower it and be near the top of the rear wheel and when you sitting at it while riding the motorbike.

[@dasiksupahuman]

I appreciate the comments about the seat height. Super handy information.

[@johncarlocielo8164]

Please have the Caco test as a standard for every review. Gives us small riders a good perspective.

[@kiburi2903]

Dang, ganda ng bike na to. 😍 hirap lang mamili between this and speed 400 since magkalapit lang price nila and mas okay brand ng triumph since matagal na sila. Pero kung strict cruiser lang, eto na talaga. 👌

[@richardorosso7377]

I really enjoyed your review, I know it may appeal to beginners but maybe think we can drop "the beginner tag" I think it a great bike in it's own right, too often bikes of smaller displacement get written off as just "beginner bikes" I have large displacement bikes but still enjoy jumping on a smaller capable machine which is every bit as fulfilling to ride as a large one, anyways keep up the great work!

[@cjalexander6548]

Can't wait for it to come to the US, this is badass

[@Sr.D]

Hi from Spain, great review!

[@rhodabilan6819]

I like this bike! I'm only 5" haha Thank you for the smooth and informative review! Nice one paps! Drive safe everyone!

[@Brettmotorcycles]

Hopefully they come out with CLC 800 with their engine platform need a little more power but looks good

[@jaegermeister1968]

a great video and I agree with you about the rear of the motorcycle. But there are saddlebags made of antique leather that cover the large gap between the tire and the fender perfectly and also look extremely good. Greetings from Austria

[@kiburi2903]

Ang quality ng content mo bro. Sana mas marami pa maka appreciate. ✨

[@badmondaywang]

It looks awesome when one sits in it. Cfmoto design is really good!

[@SilkyElwyn]

Awesome review btw! I'm already thinking of buying this cruiser because it's more budget friendly for me

[@ferdiebeer]

I think you forgot to mention (or I didn't catch it) what puts this above the Rebel 500. This actually uses an engine with a 270° crank to give that sweet grunt.

[@MrElosobear]

Only the price tag.

[@ShinzouWoSateSateSate]

​​@@MrElosobearNo. The sound gives a sense of being on an actual cruiser bike, plus it's belt-driven. In other words, features to price ratio, not just the price

[@TheSunMoon]

Hope they bring this to Singapore! Alternative to Meteor/Super Meteor.

[@yuxinhao4482]

How is the build quality and reliablility of this bike? reliability

[@DianaRoseMalejana-z4x]

Few correction Tank capacity is 12L and Price is 287,900 PH Peso :) Nonetheless, good review. Kudos!

[@franklinmacasling9827]

Same look as my Hyosung GV 125 Bobber build. ✌️

[@goldwally1428]

same sentiments about the obr seat, good thing there will be a single seat configuration for this called the low rider not the concept one, hoping it will come sooner here in the ph. nice review

[@_Hidy_Ho]

I hope you get to review the Kawasaki Eliminator soon I like the low slung seat with "normal" peg position. I'd bet you can stand up on the Eliminator. It looks like CFMOTO CL-C has the traditional cruiser-style of forward peg position.

[@duroy100]

What happens to the startkey if the bike falls on the right side? I Think the key will break. How to start the bike then?

[@robertboomsema4422]

I think cfmoto is nailing it with this bike, my guess is that it will be just as good as all the other bikes cfmoto has provided us with, to be honest I think you get a lot more for your money than with some of the other bikes mentioned… and yes the resale value is lower but I think if the reliability is good it’s a definite keeper 😊💪

[@harshitmalhotra5437]

Great video . thanks a lot. Phillipines really gets a lot of cool motorcycles. mileage of the bike is just okay.

[@suher1616]

We need this in the USA. I'd buy it for sure.

[@kpraz]

agreed on the back part.. but looks good rolling doe

[@gbjgt]

There is a single-seat version coming out, along with the 250clc

[@garyhooper1820]

The space between tire and fender is the cost of having long travel suspension , results into a much softer riding experience. Looks fine once mounted . Wish it had a V twin though .

[@DanielKulka]

I'm sure in time there will be a tail tidy. Can put a offset handle bar riser on it. SO WHATS THE TOP SPEED?

[@Cbtroyo]

the rear fender is just right because it lowers when you're sitting or driving it.

[@ferdiebeer]

Same sentiments! I thought it looks great until I saw that huge tail fender + gap.

[@phantomnus]

How is it on the highway?

[@ryanpanaligan7747]

Watching this while owning one. Torn between this and the Rebel, after a couple of reviews I'm convinced and bought one. The best choice ever! Edit: @5:57 no, it only has 12L fuel capacity

[@seanmack4552]

What sort of mileage you getting out of it mate?

[@ryanpanaligan7747]

@@seanmack4552 it's 4.7 liters per 100 kilometers so around 21 kpl Edit: I'm not fuel conscious so I drive 100kph above on the freeway when I get to ride it

[@seanmack4552]

@@ryanpanaligan7747 appreciate it mate thanks, really considering one but haven’t heard when they hit Australia yet.

[@paoayanglerstv8638]

Will there be any issues with the belt drivetrain rather than chain? Thanks a lot, im comparing this also to eliminator and rebel before making a decision to buy

[@seanmack4552]

@@paoayanglerstv8638 I just got one so I guess I’ll find out lol Belt drive is nice and quiet though.

[@AlexThebeau-vo2lp]

this bike is sweet! if it was a 7 or 800 id trade my CLX 700 sport in a heart beat

[@pauljosephmendoza0918]

Yeah, its very subjective. Some would want to cut it out because they want the bobber type with the single seated one but for those folks who ride alongside their partners, its much better to have that part :)

[@BishopGeorge925]

Thanks for a good review but you have got the information of the fuel capacity wrong. It is not 17 L but only 12 L. Check the spec sheet. Thanks again

[@xpaul9875]

the tail looks good when you ride it.

[@xtc2v]

A mono-shock rear has the advantage of giving more travel than twin shocks. This gives a smooth plush ride. That is probably why the rear mudguard needs to be a bit higher to provide clearance. You can take off the mudguard and get filth and mud shot up your back when it rains if you like but please don't press manufactures to deny us a decent mudguard

[@DeeoMaika]

I laughed so hard with the Caco abuse! I know I shouldn't, but it was comedy gold. More Caco please.

[@mruniverse5704]

Guys i need and addvise. What will you prefer< that bike or Benda DarkFlag 500 or Voge CU 525?

[@andronikosdimou2021]

Between this and Royal enfield 350 bullet wich one should I buy and why ? Thank you !

[@rozas18]

See you soon, CLC!

[@lovingmylifeasIage6741]

The rear fender is closer to the tire while you are sitting on it. It looks a lot better. Short people rule.

Royal Enfield Bullet 350 cc single cylinder 38kmpl mileage and its weight is 195 without accessions ( Made Like a Gun)

[@stephenbryson5618]

Hopefully they can get the fuelling right for once? I’ve had 3 cfmotos and I’m not having any more because of the fuelling.. what does cfmoto have in common with Christopher Columbus both needed better maps..

[@warlystrolltv4657]

I love the bike over all ,possible upgrade is back rest lang for my wife.

[@emptyfueltank]

CFmoto has been producing machines on par or dare I say better than the big Japanese brands for the same price or less

[@JCrozier1]

love the 450 motor. it has to be NK or even MT for me. you can have that cruiser life.

[@JackHarington-p7k]

I'm 6'4", you reckon it'll feel too small? - I'm really only after a small cruiser, but feels like I need to go at least to a Vulcan S to not feel too cramped.

[@Brettmotorcycles]

Super Meteor

[@BEEBEE58679]

What are the front, &, rear suspension travel dimensions?? Thanks. Good review.

Your camera is on the wrong side. I only see shadow on the first part of yr video

In sunlight &/or rain conditions how is the readability of the gauge ?? Thanks again.

@@jordanzzzh umm.. I get it -but syill - maybe search for the "CL-X 700 Adventure" (high fender) and then you might fully understand me about why it might be SUPER awesome if they make a 450 version of it :)

Is there possible ways of changing tyre dimensions..... little bit chunky on this bike..... something more eye catching (at same time gripping asphalt as well)... please....

Is it far reach handlebars like the rebel 500 or u can have straight back relax position?

[@CDOSBUILD]

Make a review on the QJ motor SRK 400

[@patricksandeberg8184]

It both looks and sounds better then the Honda. The rear wheel could have been a little fatter. That would have made the rear end look better.

[@knives5972]

can't wait for the voge cu 525 review..

[@AlexThebeau-vo2lp]

hopefully they come out with a bigger engine on this. i have the 2022 CLX 700 Sport and if this was a 6-700 cc then i would trade it in tomorrow lol

[@SRB.4S]

One question for you. Unlike you and your friend Caco, I am 194 cm tall or 6.4-6.5 I think. I don't know if the CFmoto 450 CL-C would suit me?

[@87octane]

wow! this one got my attention better than the new Kawasaki Eliminator! that stock exhaust sounds nice too.. and totally agree, it would be a great canvass for custom builders.

[@EvendimataE]

is it true, fat front tire makes the bike harder to control?

[@cristiann3958]

How abouy fuel consumption? It's not mentioned at all.

[@ShinzouWoSateSateSate]

Could've put the soundtest closer to the exhaust. What is Caco's height btw?

[@markallenarcano9439]

Present Sir Jinno 🙋

[@omercarrothers7537]

I think this is better looking than the Eliminator and Vulcan 650. However, I think the Royal Enfields (Meteor, Super Meteor, Hunter, and Shotgun) are better looking than all of them.

he always say's that back is not good, I'll take it vs to being splattered with mud and sh*t if you are riding and it suddenly rain. I prefer functionality, if you don't like it just delete it.

[@pierceson02]

This or triumph speed 400? Almost the same price, which one is bang for the buck?

[@dedo69]

different riding styles, bruv. But why would you pick a single cylinder over a two cyclinder motorcycle that have similar prices? Unless you prefer Biryani over Dumplings

[@nuno09]

it's should be how you plan to ride it and where you're taking it, this is worse for light trails but the speed400 should make light work of that, but when it comes to comfort on the road, cruisers are king.

[@3xk890]

​@@dedo69 Well triumph on the other hand, is a premium brand and offers better resale value.

[@dedo69]

@@3xk890 The fact that you mentioned resale with Triumph means that you will tire quickly with it. Pick CLC and you will keep it for life. And don't judge a motorcycle with brand alone.

[@3xk890]

@@dedo69 lmao. What? I dont know how your brain works, but a normal person would always prefer a more premium brand, well atleast if you have the money. Wouldnt you invest to something that would be of much higher value in the long run? Why would you " tire " quickly with a better resale value motorcycle? Im baffled. Can you elaborate?? And ofcourse i would judge a motorcycle by its brand LMAO. I wouldnt expect a cfmoto to be a honda or to be kawasaki, or to be trimuph. PS im not saying cf moto is bad.
